It is the responsibility of the guest to check the local burning restrictions daily to ensure a burning ban in not in effect. Current restrictions can be found on the Nova Scotia Burn Safe website (novascotia . ca / BurnSafe). 13. Water: The cottage is on a dug well located beside the driveway at the front of the cottage. The water is safe to drink; however during a drought, the well water may have a slight yellow tint due to natural tannins in the soil. Guests should be attentive to the amount of water being used to prevent the well from running dry. Water is not to be used to wash cars or run a sprinkler. 14. Septic: The septic system is very effective; however, it will clog if improper material is flushed. DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper. No feminine products should be flushed at anytime. If it is found that feminine products have been flushed and clog the septic system, you could loose your damage deposit. 15. Storms: No refunds will be given for storms. The driveway is steep and the parking area has a tight turning area. The gravel driveway is well maintained; however, we highly recommend four wheel drive during the snow months. We do not refund due to road conditions.

All in all, an excellent stay. From the very well appointed cabana to the extreme quiet (except for the wind in the trees and the birds), the top deck grill station, kitchen, dining and relaxing area. Comfortable king size bed and double outside showers added to the high end relax vibe.
This chalet has an amazing view and is located very close to a few beautiful beaches. Definitely recommended for couples who want to have a relaxing stay in Nova Scotia.
We had a wonderful time at your property. The ocean views are amazing and the field of wild flowers was beautiful to look at while enjoying a cup of coffee or a cocktail. The outdoor shower was fantastic. Close to Lunenberg for touring or any other destination on the South Shore. Many thanks
Whitecaps Cabana was the perfect place for us to spend our week long trip in Nova Scotia! We enjoyed the daybed on the upper deck, the fire pit, the outdoor showers, and the massive comfortable bed. We would definitely stay here again. 😊
We really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect place to getaway for a few day and very peaceful. Even if it rains you can sit and enjoy a book. The private beach is worth the trip down the stairs.
Thanks Andy and Jacqui,
We’ll definitely return.
Riverport is a great area, quiet, few tourists. Local marine
shop with endless supply of nautical artifacts is extremely interesting. Rose Bay store and restaurant is fantastic for supplies and fantastic local food.
We enjoyed our stay. Our only disappointment was the inside of the property is on the small side (e.g. the kitchen table needs to fold away to provide room to move around easily). The outside spaces are wonderful and we greatly enjoyed them.
White caps Cabana was amazing and everything we were looking for in a three night getaway. The accommodations were exactly as described, and the view was amazing! So much to see and do within a short drive. The private beach was beautiful and the warmest for swimming and long walks. We were fortunate to have great weather, campfires every night and some great stargazing. The Cabana has everything you need and more.
This is a great little cottage with amazing views and a lot of amenities available, thoughtfully laid out to make the most of the space. We loved the outside shower option, the screened in porch, and the upper deck for stargazing. The hosts are easy to get in touch with and provided everything we needed. Highly recommended!
We just returned from another amazing week at Whitecaps Cabana. The design is so well thought out, and we thoroughly enjoyed the upper deck and the screened in room. The outdoor shower was always hard to leave, it's a great experience to shower outdoors. Thanks again Andy and Jacqui for your attentiveness and prompt communications!
The Whitecaps Cabana is absolutely peaceful. The house is so thoughtfully laid out and organization maximized for tiny home living. The outdoor spaces are spectacular and we so enjoyed lounging and enjoying the view on the upper and lower decks. The outdoor shower is the absolute highlight of the whole property! Even in the rain, the shower is an absolute joy. Thank you for this amazing property!
Location and property are exceptional and perfect for exploring all that Nova Scotia’s South Shore has to offer. Ideal for couples and those like us who like to travel with our pet. Lovely ocean views and beautiful private beach for long walks and lazy afternoons. Kitchen is well appointed and many thoughtful homey touches like star glazing blankets and fabulous beach chairs. Even an outdoor shower! A perfect 10/10!
This cabana was one of the coolest place I've ever stayed. Its truly couple's gate-a-way. The view from the cabana was spectacular. my early morning cup of coffee sitting in the screened porch, I was visited by a couple of deer's almost daily during my time there. The property owners were very friendly. I can't say enough about this place other than I plan to return.. Thank you for sharing your place with us...
We absolutely adored this cottage! We're not new to VRBO and AlRbnb, we've been staying at rentals for over 7 years, and this one has been our absolute favourite!
Amazing location on the southside of NS, close enough to small towns for shopping/groceries, fun twisty roads to drive on along the coast, lots of parks and natural beauty, and just the perfect getaway vacation.
The hosts were responsive and kind, and were even able to promptly fix a small problem we were having with the front door.
The space was comfortable and cozy, with everything you'd need. The outside patios were wonderful at all times of the day. Some days, we just stayed at the cottage instead of exploring because it was so nice!
If you're thinking of renting this spot, just go for it - it's worth it!
Beautiful views, quiet area, close to Rose Bay Bistro and General Store, Lahave ferry, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Bridgewater. Loved the decor, the upstairs deck, the covered porch, outdoor showers.
